Alito was poised to stop Pence counting Electoral College votes on Jan 7; Pelosi foiled this

[muriel_volestrangler]

Link to tweet

"This new interview by Powell is interesting. It suggests that the purpose of the insurrection was to DELAY the electoral college certification to give Alito time to intervene on this legal challenge. But, Powell says they didn’t anticipate Pelosi reconvening Congress that day."

If you don't want to watch the video on Twitter, Sidney Powell admitted it in writing on this wingnut website: https://defendingtherepublic.org/why-pelosi/

Timeline:
Sat Jan 2: 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals throws out Gohmert’s and several Arizona Republicans’ lawsuit seeking to force Pence to help throw the election to President Donald Trump next week when Congress meets to count the Electoral College votes.
Wed Jan 6: Powell, Gohmert and the others file for an injunction at SCOTUS. Powell's account, with her italics showing what she thought was important (she, of course, claimed it was a "democrats' coup" because she's a lying idiot):

We filed for an injunction at SCOTUS on January 6th, the day of the electoral count. We filed electronically and had a congressman deliver the paper filing required by SCOTUS. The Congressman was turned back by Capitol Hill Police, due to the unrest. We succeeded in getting the case docketed at 3:51 pm on January 6th.

Given Pelosi’s participation as amicus, she would receive notice of the Gohmert filing for an injunction with the Supreme Court. She would understand that Justice Alito could alone enter an injunction against use of the Electoral Count Act because he is the Circuit Justice for Louie Gohmert’s district.

Abandoning any concern for mass covid infection from the deplorables in the Capitol, Pelosi fired her political kill shot: she shockingly announced at 6:30 pm that members would resume the count at 8 pm—just hours after Michael Byrd killed Ashley Babbitt and demonstrators were still in the Capitol.

Notably, Pelosi’s rush to restart at 8 pm did not prevent the process’ continuation to January 7th. Members could have gone home to rest and resumed the vote early in the morning without losing a day. In other words, nothing would have changed regarding the date of the completion of the count. The absurdity of driving Congress to complete a process amidst such unrest was driven by something entirely different.

Speaker Pelosi had to act quickly to prevent Justice Alito from enjoining application of the Electoral Count Act and throwing a big wrench in the democrats’ coup.

Thur Jan 7: Alito denies the application, because it's too fucking late, ha-ha.

Powell felt confident that Alito would give the injunction, and is really pissed off that Pelosi saw what was happening, and made sure the count resumed that evening, and not the next day when Alito could have played his part.

Kudos to LetMyPeopleVote for spotting the tweet about this back in Sept 2021: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215897554#post29 . I don't think I noticed anything about this at the time. I've seen it now because Roy Edroso posted about it today:

The absolutely bugfuck crazy story of Mrs. Sam Alito and the Upside-Down Flag. Three things make it even crazier: First, that Justice Alito ratted out (or passed the blame onto) his own wife to the Times; second, that per Sidney Powell’s testimony Alito was lined up to assist the Jan. 6 insurrection that his distress flag portended; and third, that Alito ran back to the Times to bitch that his wife had to wave the insurrection flag because one of his neighbors put up a sign with a swear word on it.

Thank goodness Pelosi was so damn good at her job.

[Irish_Dem]

1. Jebus God. Treason at the highest levels.

If it were not for Pelosi what would have happened?

[underpants]

8. Very Coordinated too

Jesus, Nancy and Steny and I’m sure Hakeem was in there thought of every angle.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Well planned, well funded, and organized at the highest levels.

- Mike Flynn got his active duty brother at the Pentagon to ward off any calls for help.
- Somebody got to the Supreme Court.
- Members of Congress helped with blueprints, tours the days before, location of emergency buttons, etc.
- Someone arranged for no back up for the Capitol Police despite their desperate calls.

No wonder why they all want to shut down J6 investigations.

The treason goes up to the highest levels.

This is the stuff we know about.
There is more, much more.

[markodochartaigh]

21. And very many of these criminals are still

in power, in state office and in national office. Often in the office responsible for certifying the state's slate of electors.

[Irish_Dem]

26. Yes, and they have had a dry run.

They worked out the bugs.
Next time they will do it much better.

[orangecrush]

71. They will not

Have Trump in office to help them next time.

[Irish_Dem]

83. I doubt they will roll over and play nice.

These people are evil to their core.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

89. They are evil to the core, no doubt about that at all, but, what they seem to misunderstand

is that there are millions of us combat veterans who are liberal or just plain fed up with the lawlessness of the so called "militias" who will fight them.

They think we're a bunch of pussies because we're liberals, but those of us who have experience with urban warfare will oppose them with whatever it takes.

Good to talk to you Irish_Dem.

[Irish_Dem]

93. They are in for the shock of their lives.

When the liberals decide they have had enough and fight back and fight like hell.
Intelligent and well trained individuals like yourself as compared to the MAGA pretend
soldiers who have watched a civil war militia video.

Hi MCE, I am so glad to see you!

[orangecrush]

98. Democrats will do

What decent people have always done.

They will do everything they can to live in peaceful coexistence with all.

Until they can't.

Then they will do what they have to do.

Bank on that.

[AZ8theist]

105. I've always said.....

In a country AWASH with guns.....

Does the Reich Wing think THEY are the only ones who will use them???

[Irish_Dem]

106. Yes. And Americans are quite different from Russian and Chinese citizens.

Putin and Xi who work with the GOP to undermine our democracy assume that
all Americans can be indoctrinated like their citizens.

But Chinese and Russia citizens have been under autocratic rule for centuries.
They know nothing else.

American citizens have had a long taste of freedom.
And been taught the value of a democratic form of government.

The US is the greatest democracy in the history of the world.
It won't go down without a fight.

[calimary]

94. That's why we have to VOTE, and make sure everybody around us does, too!

Take NOTHING for granted.

[wnylib]

99. They don't need to have him in office.

There are many ways to bring down the government system in order to take control. I've never been in the military or in a sport where I was required to develop a strategy, so if I can think of ways to take control, you can be sure that the fascists who surround Trump have a plan.

They will do whatever it takes to gain control of the country, either during the vote casting and counting, or afterward if they don't succeed in rigging the vote outcome.

If they manage to rig the outcome successfully, there will be a minimum of violence, except to respond to protests of their takeover.

If they don't succeed in rigging the votes
in their favor, there will be violence against infrastructure as well as against select people.

[LiberalFighter]

32. It is unfortunate there isn't a Remo.

If I had Presidential Immunity

[SWBTATTReg]

56. Heads need to roll, on this fake insurrection by all of these people. They need to be ID'ed, arrested and

charged, all of them, and then taken to trial, and those in the Supreme Court, need to lose their jobs as they proven to be traitors to the entire process that has been followed for years and years, in counting the votes, and certifying the next president of the US.

tRUMP has infected all of these people in his pell-mell drive to win at any cost, even cheating right and left.

[Biophilic]

59. I wish it were just trump to blame.

But more and more it sounds like a very large group of diverse people attempting to take over our government and nation. Trump seems to be just a figurehead.

[Irish_Dem]

86. The DOJ has focused on the foot soldiers.

Not the higher ups, the planners, organizers and funding sources.

[SWBTATTReg]

120. Yes. The political will isn't there, I guess.

[Irish_Dem]

121. If you are a member of congress or a judge you can commit treason.

You are untouchable.

[lindysalsagal]

60. If they start going after the congrss and senate members who helped

We'd likely lose dozens of legislators. It would be chaos, trying to legislate while keeping the perpetrators out. Still, we should prosecute.

[Irish_Dem]

87. I think this is why the DOJ has given MOC a pass.

They seem untouchable for their J6 crimes.

[elocs]

85. I always thought the Capitol Police were betrayed, set up to fail, & hung out to dry.

How close we were to losing our country that day. Thankfully we had smart people like Pelosi who had our back.

[Irish_Dem]

90. I think that is a given.

They were set up and left to fend for themselves.

They desperately called for backup and no one came.
Higher ups said it was a "communication mistake."

Americans across the country were watching it on TV but not one person
in DC in a position of authority could see it and send in some help?

The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Heads should roll, but probably not.

Yep we came close to a true catastrophe.

[Shipwack]

127. I think there is at least ONE reason why the investigation did not go to the highest levels...

No wonder why they all want to shut down J6 investigations.

The treason goes up to the highest levels.

Liz Cheney was/is playing her own game. She doesn't care about the little fish caught in the nets.

Her sole concern was that no Republican members of congress were shown to be involved.

I admit to having no proof, but to my mind the investigations abruptly stop at a certain point. My theory is that Liz's price for being a cooperative member of the committee was guaranteeing that top people were not implicated.

She did this not because she likes any of those who planned the insurrection. She just wanted to protect the Republican brand. Proving that congressional Republicans were involved would definitely cause ripples that would last until the upcoming November elections.

Not that any of those members appreciated that she was running interference for them...

[Irish_Dem]

128. I have said exactly the same thing. A deal was cut.

The proof is in what happened.

A deal was cut with the MOC, DOJ, Cheney, J6 committee.

Cheney was able go forward with the J6 investigation as long as no MOC were mentioned. Congress and the DOJ would not investigate MOC.

Yes she could care less about the GOP MOC who were involved in J6.
She wants to protect the GOP brand and electability.

[hibbing]

24. The breadth of is astounding n/t

[Irish_Dem]

28. If this were a movie, no one would believe it for a minute.

Well, maybe they would now.

[FalloutShelter]

52. I keep thinking I can't be shocked...

and then I am.

[Irish_Dem]

84. Same here.

I think I am shock proof until the next shock hits.

[onetexan]

132. Whixh is why ALL of those who aided & abetted, including powell & alio

Need to go to prison. This is treason at its worst.

[Kid Berwyn]

25. Permanent Pee-residency

Nancy Pelosi saved Democracy that day.

[malthaussen]

57. Pretty incompetent treason, though.

Otherwise, it would have worked.

-- Mal

[Irish_Dem]

81. No. They were very close.

Only seconds away from getting Pence and Pelosi.

And if Pelosi had not figured out their plans, they could have carried it out.

Next time they won't make any mistakes.
This was the dry run.

[Demsrule86]

2. Unbelievable, Nancy Pelosi is a bad ass hero. She saved the ACA and a little over 10 years later she saves our Democracy

Fuck Justice Alito...traitor and bigot

[ShazzieB]

10. We already knew she was a bad ass hero.

But on January 6, she showed that she was even more bad ass and more heroic than we had even imagined!

She deserves a medal. She deserves ALL the medals!

[Demsrule86]

20. She so wonderful...

She saved our Democracy.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Was trying to kill her husband revenge for spoiling the GOP plot?

I would not have suggested this a month ago.

But naivety is no longer an option.

[Demsrule86]

46. I don't know. They hate her and she ruined their insurrection...it is possible

[Irish_Dem]

47. She not only ruined their insurrection, but outsmarted them.

And did it very quickly.

A woman outsmarted them.
With one hand tied behind her back.

That had to smart.

Then they come after her and her husband.

[Demsrule86]

55. She did didn't she? She is a smart badass! It seems like that guy who did it could have been manipulated.

I love Nancy!

[Irish_Dem]

80. We keep hearing about all the GOP/Trump plots and subplots.

Anything is possible.

[gab13by13]

58. He was coming after Nancy

Thought she was home. Her husband was his 2nd choice.

[Demsrule86]

67. True. One wonders if this guy was manipulated into doing this? I usually would not even wonder about this.

[malaise]

3. And they continue to foment their coup

They will fail again

[mjvpi]

13. Exactly. All of those "tourists" were just a distraction.

January 6th was a flat out coup attempt. When the top court in the land is stacked, the coup is lingering in a half state. We are unable to prosecute the flagrant attempt, let alone dig out the rot. Vote like our country depends on it!

[COL Mustard]

27. God I hope so.

If they do this shit again and succeed we are doomed as a country.

[Irish_Dem]

35. We cannot say with any certainly it will fail again.

They had a dry run, saw the problem areas.
And have time to fix those.

The next time has a higher chance of being successful.

[JustAnotherGen]

66. This

Never take your eyes off an enemy intent on evil - until they have been brought to heel.

[Demsrule86]

70. They don't have as much power as they did before.

[Irish_Dem]

114. We see the opposite.

-We see every week that the MAGA power base is wider and deeper than we realized.
-There is deep MAGA support across two branches of government and the media.
-The US Supreme Court is in Maga's pocket.
-The corruption and treason at the highest levels is undeniable.
-We learn more about the Chinese and Russian interference and involvement in our politicians and elections.

[bluestarone]

113. NOW, we know for sure the Supreme Court is our enemy. (wern't sure before)

Dangerous times ahead, that's for sure. They could push us ALL to our limit. Then what? When we know the COURTS are our enemy, we have to have a plan.

[Irish_Dem]

115. Yes I hope to God someone is developing a strategy to defeat our domestic traitors.

We are going to need it.

[brush]

4. Thank God for Speaker Emerita Pelosi. The insurrectionists Powell, Gomert and Alite...

couldn't slip their dirty deeds past her.

[Blue Owl]

5. "Justice" Alito should be tarred and feathered

And then thrown in jail -- that motherfucker!

[Retrograde]

6. Outmaneuvered by a woman

that’s what really gets his male supremacist goat

[PufPuf23]

7. If Alito was a decent human being and patriotic American, he would resign and

apologize.

Alito is not a decent human being.

Alito should be impeached, even if the attempt fails for lack of votes.

Needs to be on record for history books.

Initiate Alito's impeachment Monday.

[lastlib]

33. America needs to HOUND him to resign!

Every elected official who cares for democracy (rules out repuglikans) must call for his IMMEDIATE resignation! Blast him from every side until he is GONE! He is absolutely unworthy to continue to hold his seat--in fact the only thing he is worthy to hold at this point is a cot in a cell.

[Biophilic]

61. And he is obviously not a patriotic American.

At least not how I define patriotic.

[Seinan Sensei]

62. Let's go Alitooooo !!!

[Trust_Reality]

116. Powell described a plot, a conspiracy, to overthrow the constitutional order of this country.

She is suggesting that Alito was a player in the conspiracy - which absolutely needs to be investigated to its full depth. Many others involved as well. It may be that we citizens need to have the DOJ's back because this is a big deal.

[duckworth969]

9. Gohmert/Alito connection is an eye opener

Man, we came so close to disaster. As if it wasn’t bad enough.

SC still trying their shit too.

[PortTack]

12. Shocking..I doubt they could have raised a legal challenge. There were 60+ cases, some heard by SCOTUS

That all concluded that the election was fair. Powell said a lot of things that were lies…

Not defending that scum alito…just looking back at the facts

[yardwork]

50. I think the issue is that Alito could have delayed certification, by himself.

Alito is the USSC justice for Gohmert's district, so Alito could have acted alone to temporarily halt the certification.

The ensuing chaos would have given the GOP time to reinstall Trump, using the Capitol riot as an excuse. It worked in 2000 with much less...

[Farmer-Rick]

79. Exactly

Alito was just the stooge who would stop the certification. This would give the fascists time to blockade the white house? Use the insurrection act? Plan a few assassinations?

They will have a tougher time this time around because they don't have the Senate and Presidency to plot their insurrection. Now we need to get back the House and fix the f*cking traitors on the Supremes.

[Trust_Reality]

117. I think Alito is not their stooge. He is clearly undermining

and delaying justice for Trump at every turn.

[Demsrule86]

68. On January 7th Alito could have stopped the count by taking the case...and it is being said it was part of the plot...

Eventually, it gets thrown into the House and we lose. We don't have as many states. You only needed Alito.

[Uncle Joe]

14. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread muriel.

[onethatcares]

15. Thank You Nancy Pelosi

YOU are a true Patriot and upholder of the Constitution.

I don't have the words to express my thoughts. Thank You.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. "damn good at her job"? She was Molly Pitcher when it counted.

“Well, that could have been worse,” and went back to firing her cannon.

https://www.revolutionary-war.net/molly-pitcher/

[Wonder Why]

17. That's why he flew the flag upside down. When she outfoxed him, it WAS a dire emergency (to him).

[Joinfortmill]

18. Keeps getting worse.

[rubbersole]

74. When tsf is replaced by Kemp at the repub convention in July...

...phase 2 of the oligarch takeover will have begun. tsf will never be 'elected' and the distraction he'll create will be a smokescreen for the states to 'choose' a president. I hope I'm so wrong. But the wingnuts aren't hiding their intentions. Unlimited money will do that for you.

[Boomerproud]

19. I'm now revisiting my anger.

Contempt for all involved and cannot praise Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her bravery and brilliance that fateful day. Maybe now the msm will finally focus on the perpetrators at the top. I personally think the story is too widespread and frightening for the whole truth to come out.

[Demsrule86]

22. KICK for visability

[MOMFUDSKI]

23. Nancy understands these criminals.

She is a treasure!

[Kaleva]

29. Is it pure speculation that Justice Alito would gone along with this?

Powell, as the evidence shows, was and is clearly out of touch with reality. What would work in Fantasy Land won't likely work in the real world

[Irish_Dem]

37. The SC installed Bush into the WH.

Alito is despicable and corrupt.

Not hard to speculate.

2 plus 2 equals 4.

[Kaleva]

78. Yet you seem to trust crackpot Powell

None of her plans worked but you think this one could have if it had not been for Pelosi.

[muriel_volestrangler]

39. Well, I wondered, but she seems to put a lot of emphasis in Alito getting to make the decision alone

If it were just a gripe that the count was completed before "the Supreme Court" could interfere, it might have been wishful thinking on her part. But she notes that because it was Gohmert, they knew it would be Alito who saw it first. And given the contempt Alito has been shown to have for democracy since, it seems believable.

[Kaleva]

91. Alito wasn't helpful in efforts to overturn 2020 election

"Explaining the Supreme Court’s ruling denying Trump and how Alito and Thomas didn’t dissent"

https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/12/politics/texas-pennsylvania-supreme-court-alito-thomas-explained/index.html

".Supreme Court Rejects GOP Bid To Reverse Pennsylvania Election Results"

"The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice [Samuel] Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied," said the court's one-sentence order, which did not suggest any dissent among the nine justices."

https://www.npr.org/2020/12/08/944230517/supreme-court-rejects-gop-bid-to-reverse-pennsylvania-election-results

[Freddie]

30. Someday, G-d willing, there will be a movie

Hope I’m still around to see it.

[ananda]

34. Alito needs to resign immediately!

Fuck now!

[Irish_Dem]

36. No wonder Biden gave her the Medal of Freedom.

She certainly deserves it.

[bluestarone]

38. Something has to be done to this bastard

WTF???

[Hekate]

40. I hope to live to see the book & movie: "How Nancy Pelosi Saved Our Democracy" ...

Highlights to include her simultaneously hiding for her life and co-ordinating the federal government response, cool as a cucumber.

[Prince99]

41. I am going to say this

Trump will lose this November and it's that simple. They know it! However, the apparatus and set up is all in motion folks. I hope we are prepared. Let's count the ways:

1. Sell off of top secret documents
2. High level dignitaries visiting Mar Barfo
3. Gas prices
4. Middle east conflict
5. Ukraine funding
6. LIV Golf - money laundering
7. Supreme Court decisions
8. Recent voter court filings
9. Press surrogates - Tur/Haggerman
10 .J6 dry run

Maybe I watched too many Netflix/Prime thrillers but its all connected. Why do I feel our elected officials are out taking a nap and not calling out the obvious or at least casting the concern that way public discourse can start the conversation.

[walkingman]

42. Alito and Thomas are clearly corrupt but also Chief Justice Roberts has lost all credibility. His legacy

will be someone that ignored the corruption and unethical behavior by the court.

[bluestarone]

49. Thinking the SAME here, except i'm not sure about Roberts yet.

Alito and Thomas FOR SURE!! Plus Thomas's wife. Roberts, i feel is losing his power. (if he had any) THIS court could destroy us, the way it is now. We are so close to a civil war IF this court continues it course they have selected. I do not have the answer, BUT these judges need to be HOUNDED every where they go (LEGALLY i mean)

[Traurigkeit]

54. Alito and Thomas would not get away with their crimes without Roberts.

[Trust_Reality]

118. My sense is that Roberts is pretty much one of them, just more subtle.

I remember observing that during the impeachment hearings, he very much seemed to be acting as a useful stooge for the Republicans.

We need to help make the reputation of the "Roberts Court" something that lives in infamy.

[GiqueCee]

109. Don't forget...

... that Roberts was one of the mob that stormed the count in Florida during "The Night of the Hanging Chads", before the Rehnquist Court had even handed down its stay, which was pivotal in stealing the election from Al Gore. I wouldn't trust that sonofabitch any further than I could throw my truck.

[usonian]

43. Speaker Emeritus and Greatest American Hero Pelosi

Kept hope and democracy alive for four years of treason and destruction.



And was acting President when Putin's Puppet was busy watching the conspiracy play out.

[Torchlight]

44. It's becoming more difficult by the day to keep the conservative brand from looking spoiled and spotty.

And it's often an eye-opener watching the "it may not smell good, but it doesn't smell bad either" routine followed by a few, "but maybe she meant this..." coworkers do their tired schtick, trying their level best to keep trump's nose above water. Bless thier little idiot hearts; they just need more hugs.

[yardwork]

45. Yes, this has been known. Nancy Pelosi saved our democracy.

Her aides grabbed the buses with the votes, and Nancy reconvened Congress that night. She knew what was at stake.

The Republicans didn't expect that.

[NanaCat]

104. It wasn't Pelosi's aides

A Senate aide saw the danger to the process, and took it upon herself to round up fellow staffers and get those certifications to safety.

We won't know her name for a long time, because releasing it would of course subject her to death threats, but she, too, played an important role in saving our democracy.

[jmbar2]

48. K&R!

[Ladythatvotesblue]

51. Nancy

is the angel of democracy in high heels!

[Traurigkeit]

53. This is why all the Federal Trials are being delayed. If the US DoJ can ask TSF what happened to create th Jan 6th, 2021

insurrection and we will reduce the Years in Prison to seconds, TSF would FLIP SO FAST the laws of gravity will be broken.

The $$$ behind this does not want it to get set into the light.
Wouldn't be surprised if TSF gets offed by the $$$ men if the US DoJ gets too close.

[karin_sj]

63. This scares the crap out of me

January 6th was practice. Now they know what they need to do and they will be much more efficient. I still believe that Biden will win resoundingly but these people are scoundrels and they will stop at nothing to install King Orange Turd. It's horrendous that we have to deal with this.

[lindysalsagal]

64. When you know Alito was gonna give them the whitehouse

Everything else finally makes sense. Their fealty to Trump was the guarantee, and now he's promising to hide their crimes when he returns to office. This HAS to make the ms media NOW. I'm sending it to Rachel.

[Demsrule86]

72. Good idea...

[mahina]

65. Nancy Pelosi saved us so many ways.

Thankful for her!

[Botany]

69. Nancy P

[oasis]

73. Traitor Alito. That's my takeaway.

[Trueblue Texan]

75. Her being so damn good at her job that she saved the republic...

is the reason I don't believe in term limits. What would we have done without her?

[DET]

76. Can't Believe I Have to Ask This...

What are the odds that this gets buried by the press? After all, it has been so far. Plus, of course, what did Alito know and when did he know it?

[LiberalFighter]

77. Why should the filing be based on Gohmert's district?

[grumpyduck]

82. I just don't know what to say anymore.

These people are miles below disgusting. Fuck them all.

Alito should be thrown in the worst prison on earth.

[brooklynite]

88. I hate to ruin a perfectly good conspiracy theory...

...but what SIDNEY POWELL imagines MIGHT have happened if the Congress hadn't resumed counting the electoral votes isn't a smoking gun.

[Trust_Reality]

119. Yes, so investigate the big picture for evidence of conspiracy.

I see probable cause here, there, everywhere.

Or, maybe it is all just a bunch of anti-democracy, racist, religious radicals of groups and individuals all going in the same direction.

[Evolve Dammit]

92. Fuck these traitors. All of them

[mgardener]

95. I still wonder what part Stefanik played in the coup

She and McCarthy met with Trumpmin the Oval office on Jan 4th.

[DFW]

96. Powell practically implicated Alito on camera

It certainly seems like enough to warrant a criminal probe into Alito’s part. This is far beyond an impeachable offense, if there’s anything to it, and by naming Alito in public as their co-conspirator, I don’t see how this could be construed as a misunderstanding. I think that Alito might be considering a longer stay on Leonard Leo’s yacht next time, for example, as in a permanent cabin residence while moored at Grand Cayman.

[Kaleva]

101. She didn't provide any evidence

She was guessing that Alito would help them.

Like Magahats claiming the election was stolen even though they've been unable to produce any evidence to back up those claims and yet they still want people to believe that it actually happened .

[soldierant]

97. They are so incapable of doing their jobs,

and so easily distracted,, and so easily terrified, that they cannot even comprehend the notion of Pelosi doing hers.

[Blue Owl]

102. Pelosi is a heroine

[tulipsandroses]

103. Not even John Grisham. a mastermind in crafting legal thrillers, could come up with this.

It's time to expand the court.

[BoRaGard]

107. Repubes tried to SUCKER America

what a disgrace they are

[MaryMagdaline]

108. God bless Nancy Pelosi!!

[elias7]

110. Powell appears crazy or kool-aid drunk

Totally shoveling shit Pelosi's way for Pelosi resuming the count so quickly (despite so much covid risk from all the Jan 6ers, despite the killing of Ashley Babbitt, despite keeping everybody up). Then says the only reason for this "absurd" action was to thwart the R's plan to get the filing to Alito (Gohmert's district's assigned judge) who would then suspend the electoral count act, "throwing a big wrench in the Democrat's coup".

She is a total election denier citing a whole lot of discredited hogwash about how the Democrats cheated (hundreds of affidavits, statistical studies proving mathematical impossibilities, disappearance of mail ballots, mysterious appearances of perfect ballots, evidence of technological manipulation of the vote, and even video of women pulling suitcases from under tables after a staged pipe burst evacuation, and of ballot workers shoving the same ballots through the machines repeatedly coinciding with an impossible spike in votes all for Biden), said all (of the 63) cases were dismissed because "courts threw out the cases on the democrats 'talking points'—technicalities many of which were pulled from the dustbin of legal history"

I'm not sure Alito can be directly implicated. They chose Gohmert to lead to injunction to get Alito to rule, but you'd have to prove Alito was consciously part of the plan.

111. Soapy Sam was the Kingmaker

He has not upheld the Constitution of the US. He's working against it.

112. This narrative is believable, but requires more evidence of Alito's role than Powell's say-so.

I hope there is such evidence in one form or another, but I rather doubt it. In any event, Powell should be questioned on the basis of this interview.

Wasn't this when the Mueller investigation was just starting to heat up? I seem to recall that we were getting lots of "Mueller news" back in those days.

Fucking hell

126. Ms Pelosi is the best damn Speaker this country has ever had

Bar none.

[Silent Type]

129. Don't doubt Alito would have signed off, but is there any evidence this was arranged with him beforehand? Or

Or, was Powell just saying they expected/hoped Alito would agree with their plan.

Whatever, glad Pelosi was there to make sure it wouldn't happen.

[TBF]

130. Now I understand why they hate Pelosi - and by extension her husband -

they see her as foiling their coop.

They should ALL be in jail for 30 years - not just the one who attacked Paul.

Alito disgusts me.
